“Over the weekend, a Transguard employee made inflammatory comments on his personal Facebook account celebrating the deplorable mosque attack in Christchurch, New Zealand. This prompted an internal investigation, which uncovered the fact that the individual in question had been posting his views on social media under an assumed name.”

“We have a zero-tolerance policy for the inappropriate use of social media, and as a result, this individual was immediately terminated and turned over to the authorities to face justice,” Managing Director Greg Ward said in the statement issued on Tuesday.

The employee was terminated from his employment and handed over to the relevant authorities as per the company policy and UAE Cybercrime Law No. 5 of 2012. Based on this statement, the employee has been deported by the UAE government, said the statement.
